Spaghetti with Tuna, Lemon, and Breadcrumbs

It's good to have an arsenal of quick, easy, delicious meals in your recipe file for when you...well... need something quick, easy, and delicious. This recipe definitely fits the bill. It has a bright lemon flavor, and is done in the amount of time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. I used my toaster oven to make the breadcrumbs since it takes even less time to heat up than the regular oven.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse bread and 1 teaspoon oil until coarse crumbs form. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, tossing occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.
